National Map Guitars were made in the USA from 1958-64 by Valco and sold through Montgomery Ward. This Airline® Map is a tribute to the National Newport Guitar from 1962. Today they are played by people like David Bowie, The Cure, Calexico and White Stripes. Original Map Res-O-Glas models now sell for $3,000-$5,000. This baby sounds so good, I almost bought it before you did! It feels better than the original, and is probably made better too!
